6. You are permitted to ask for a waiver of the copying fees. You must state the request for a waiver of fees in your FOIA request and include a specific reason why the requested information is in the public interest, not your personal interest, and therefore, merits such a waiver.

HOW THE VILLAGE WILL RESPOND:

The Village must respond in a reasonable amount of time after the request is received. Some requests may take longer if information:

• Is stored at a different location• Requires an extensive search• Involves a substantial number of records• Needs reviewed by an appropriate person to determine if the requested records are exempt• Cannot be produced without unduly burdening the Village or interfering with its operation

Our policy states that all requests will be responded to and you will be informed if your requests is denied. If your request has been denied you may appeal the denial to the Attorney General’s Public Access Bureau (PAC).
